Hi , I am new to ES Stack . I am trying to improve the performance of filebeat publishing events to logstash by monitioring tool. I find it disturbing when I saw the Graph of Event Rate : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/3/c3c7cd47eead6c6ee8209ce86d28cc0cf5be0230.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/1/21af1add3d97d481e9ec6f3b8cbe286788d5cb7c.png) Though I have read the notes at the right top corner , I am still confused about the metrics: 1. Does Total should equal to ( Emitted + Acknowledged + Queued) ? Whats the meaning of the left amount(Total - Emitted - Acknowledged - Queued)? 2. Should Total gets far more than Emitted? 3. Is it normal for a filebeat instance that New is far more than Emitted? I have read the document on Elastic site and searched on google but still fond no clear description. I would be much grateful for anyone who are full of patience to help me solve the problems above. ---
